“The rest of the world sees perfectly well that Washington's policy is getting increasingly aggressive and reckless,” a Russian Foreign Ministry statement said.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry slammed America’s latest policy on Iran in a statement issued online Tuesday and reported by state news agency Tass.
On Monday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the U.S. would end 180-day waivers that currently protect eight countries from sanctions over their import of Iranian oil. Issued in November, the waivers will expire May 2. Reasserting the country's commitment to an Obama-era nuclear deal, Russia's Foreign Ministry argued it was “doing justice to the sovereignty of Iran”—a country that “does not respond to arrogant provocations from the U.S.”
Meanwhile in Iran, Defense Minister Amir Hatami slammed Trump on Monday, comparing his politics to those of the Nazi party. “Today, we are facing different security issues in the world,” he told journalists. “Today, the most important issue in the world is Trumpism, which is similar to Nazism in quality and has seriously endangered global security with such traits as selfishness, cruelty and violation of humanitarian principles and international rules.
